Noordam spends Australia’s warmer months exploring the islands, towns and cities of Australia and the South Pacific, with itineraries designed to be longer multi-country discoveries or broken down into smaller segments for those just wanting a bit of a getaway. Noordam cruises in the South Pacific include fantastic in-depth island escapes. If you’re looking just to bask in an island paradise you’ll want to pick a cruise of up to 16 nights while longer South Pacific cruises will integrate their island adventures with visits to other parts of Australia and New Zealand. Noordam has also introduced itineraries visiting Papua New Guinea to their scheduling, however with limited departure dates on offer, these cruises are likely to book out quickly!

Noordam has a fantastic repertoire of cruises to New Zealand. If you’re only looking to discover the secrets of the land of the long white cloud, look for cruises of up to 17 nights duration, which may include a port or two in Australia in conjunction with those in New Zealand. There are cruises of up to 40 nights that include New Zealand in it’s schedule, but these will also take you to islands in the South Pacific or even all the way to Vancouver. Once in Vancouver, Noordam embarks on a season of cruises through Alaska. These cruises are mostly 7 nights in duration and depart from either Vancouver or Seward.
